What does it mean? Especially, I don't understand why 'should' should be used in it.
I think that if 'should' were not in the sentence, it would be more natural.
Can you teach me the truth?
Thanks. |

You are correct: the "should" is not necessary. If you want to add a helping verb, I think "would" is better than "should". |
